USED TO SUFFER
EACH MONTH
**I used to have severe head-
aches each month," writes Mrs.
Henry Heape, of 248 Lincoln St,
Savannah, Ga. “I suffered a great
deal. The pain in my head seemed
to run down the back of my neck.
I felt like I was drawing back. I
would get very nauseated and have
chills. I would have to go to bed. My
mother and my mother-in-law both
had taken Cardui, and I knew it was
good. I bought a bottle, and after I
began taking it I felt_strong-

Bad Stomach Cause
of Bad Skin
You can’t expect to have a good
clear skin if your stomach is weak and
disordered.
Undigested food sends poisons
through the body, pimples appear—
skin grows sallow and loses color.
But these troubles will end quickly
and skin clear up if you will start
today taking Tanlac.
Tanlac is made from herbs, barks
and roots. A tablespoonful before each
meal stimulates the digestion natu-
rally so that you can digest what you
eat. And when your stomach is in good
shape again watch how quickly skin
begins to clear up. At your druggist’s.
Money back if it doesn’t help you.

“I suffered from heartburn and
indigestion. My tongue would get
coated, and I would have a bad
taste in my mouth, i had gas pains,
and if X belched it would be right
bitter. My mother told me to try
Black-Draught, which I did. After I

News Review of Current
Events the World Over
Alfonso of Spain Surrenders Power, but Does Not Abdi-
cate—Illinois Governor Vetoes “Wet” Bill—
Nicholas Longworth Buried.
By EDWARD W. PICKARD
Ex-King
Alfonso
A S KING AL-
fonso and mem-
bers of tbe royal fami-
ly scattered into exile,
leaders of the Span-
ish republic moved to
insure the life of the
new regime and to
make royalty’s return
to Spain impossible.
The prison gates of
Barcelona, Valencia,
Jaca and other cities
were opened for thou-
sands of political and
revolutionary hostages incarcerated
during the dictatorships of the last
eight years, while crowds boisterous-
ly celebrated the death of the mon-
archy and the birth of the republic.
Don Niceto Alcala Zamora, provis-
ional president of Spain, at once as-
sumed power.
Born on May 17, 1886, six months
after the death of his father, Alfonso
XII, Alfonso XIII automatically be-
came the king of Spain. His mother,
Queen Maria Christina, was appointed
regent and ruled the country as sov-
ereign until Alfonso became sixteen,
when, according to Spanish constitu-
tional law, he reached his majority
and came into his full kingship.
Alfonso made no bluff of abdicating
in favor of his son. The kingdom of
Spain is at an end. And Alfonso, by
yielding without bloodshed, won for
himself a unique honor. He did not
have to take to his heels and scamper
for his life. He went out of Spain in a
dignified way, a man who feels that
he has served his nation well and who
knows himself worthy of this last
mark of consideration.
It will be interesting to watch the
developments in Madrid during the
next few weeks, for the trend in gov-
ernment on the continent of Europe
has not been wholly a victory for pres-
ent-day democracy. In certain coun-
tries, notably France, a republican
government has functioned with ad-
mirable stability. In others the tend-
ency has been toward dictatorships.
And the chief difference between a
monarchy and a dictatorship is that
individual ability and dominance,
rather than accident of birth, bring
about the selection of the ruler.
IN ASSUMING his duties as viceroy
to India, Lord Willingdon finds the
country vastly more complex and in-
finitely more difficult to deal with than
was the Dominion of Canada. Instead
of having to handle 10,000,000 people
with only two principal languages, the
new governor general has 350,000,000
speaking 222 vernaculars, all crowded
in a space about half the size of Can-
ada.
Lord Willingdon is facing a coun-
try not only clamoring for the right to
shape her own destiny but one be-
set with acute racial and religious
cleavages and animosities, with Hin-
dus outnumbering Moslems by 3 to 1.
To be sure, every viceroy has had
this Moslem-Hindu communal prob-
lem to struggle with. Observers in
India say it will always exist, as long
as the Hindu worships the cow and
the Moslem eats it, for it is the so-
called desecration of this animal that
causes most race riots.
One of the few bright spots Lord
Willingdon will find is that the Na-
tionalists are now at peace with the
British government. But how long
this will last depends on what measure
of independence Gandhi secures when
he goes to the second “round table”
conference in London this summer.
If increased remuneration and hon-
ors are any compensation for the trials
he must face, Lord Willingdon may
find some satisfaction in the fact that
his $50,000 salary as governor general
of Canada is doubled and his expense
allowance quadrupled.

Mrs.
Longworth
'T' HE funeral o f
•A Nicholas Long-
worth at Cincinnati
was attended by not-
able men from all
parts of the United
States, all of them
warm friends of the
late speaker of the
house of representa-
tives. President Hoo-
ver laid aside press-
ing public duties to do
honor to the memory
of Mr. Longworth.
Affectionate tributes from all parts
of the world laid stress upon his at-
tractive personality. These expres-
sions, and the high esteem manifested
by the public Tind through the press,
are a rich legacy of comfort to his
family.
Mr. Longworth’s death has, of
course, completely changed the course
of events in the house. A struggle for
the speakership would have occurred
in any event, but it was taken for
granted that Mr. Longworth would
command all the votes of his party
and thus hold an even chance of win-
ning the speakership. The Repub-
licans must tow choose a candidate
for speaker, and he will face the diffi-
cult task of consolidating tiie entire
party. Although a few Republicans
aad threatened to bolt. “Nick” Long-
worth’s personal popularity was such
that a solid party vote was confidently
expected to appear when needed. Now
the would-be bolters may not be
drawn into line by personal affection
for the party leader.
Archie Roosevelt, brother of Mrs.
Nicholas Longworth, said that his sis-
ter “has never and will not seek po-
litical office.”
Roosevelt made this statement at
the Longworth home and added that
"my sister will of course go back to
Washington where she has a resi-
dence but Cincinnati is her home and
she Intends to make it such in the
future.”
Further than this, he said. Mrs.
Longworth has no future plans.
This would seem definitely to set. at
rest rumors that Mrs. Longworth
would be a candidate for her late
husband’s seat in congress.
Q OV. LOUIS L.
Gov. L. L.
Emmerson
Emmerson, con-
trary to expectations,
| vetoed the bill for the
§ repeal of the Illinois
| search and seizure
laws. The measure,
$ which would have
| placed Illinois sixth in
| the column of states
| repealing their prohi-
;i b i t i o n enforcement
acts, had been enacted
by the state senate by
only a two-vote mar-
gin, 26 to 24.
The vote for it in the house had
been 91 to 56. Several of those who
voted for repeal in the senate, where
the turn of two votes would have
changed the vote, frankly admitted
they voted for it only because of the
referendum, by which the voters of
Illinois, by a large majority, expressed
their approval of repeal.
Governor Emmerson, however, left
the way open for alterations in the
repealer, which he said would cause
it to meet with his approval.
He declared in his veto message
that if the repealer had continued
a referendum provision “so that the
people of the state, with the full
knowledge of the consequences, could
vote on wiping out all state liquor
legislation without regard to the Con-
stitution of the United States, I should
feel compelled to sign the bill.?'
The governor asserted that the ef-
forts of Illinois “wets” to strike all
prohibition laws from the statute
books was nullificationism.
James C.
Stone
/CHAIRMAN JAMES
C. Stone of the
federal farm board
said in a recent state-
ment that Russian ac-
tivities in the dump-
ing of wheat “were
largely responsible for
demoralizing
the world market and
necessitating a re-
newal of the wheat
stabilization opera-
tions the middle of
last November to pre-
vent further effects of that collapse
from being felt in our own market.”
That is to say, the dumping of Rus-
sian wheat into the markets of Eu-
rope at any price it would bring was
largely the cause of that great ac-
cumulation of wheat in storage which
now embarrasses the board and the
market. That Russia was the main
cause of that calamitous slump in
wheat last November is a fact that is
not questioned by responsible author-
ities anywhere in the world.
Yet little or none of this wheat
came to America. The tariff on wheat
is practically prohibitive, even for
Russia. And we can if we wish ef-
fectively prevent the entry of any
Russian products. That, however, will
not enable us to escape the conse-
quences of Russia’s prodigious econ-
omic program, the most extensive and
the most audacious economic experi-
ment in the world’s history. It need
not touch us directly at any point but
we cannot escape it. Russia is in a
position to make the price in the world
market, and it will not be.a profitable
price.
Much the same situation is develop-
ing in relation to lumber and oil. Rus-
sia lias a larger area of useful timber
than any country in the world and as
fast as it can, by forced labor, it is
turning that timber into lumber in
order to realize cash or credit on it
from its sales In the markets of the
world. The effect on lumber prices
must be similar to that on wheat.
The world of the established order
has never been confronted by such an
economic menace as Russia now pre-
sents, not to speak of its social and
political menace.
IN THE federal court at Evansville,
*■ Ind., Harry E. Rowbottom, former
representative in congress of the First
Indiana district, was convicted of ac-
cepting bribes from persons who
sought post office appointments.
The former congressman was sent-
enced immediately by Judge Charles
E. Woodward to serve one year and
one day In Leavenworth penitentiary
and was fined $2,000.
In refusing a request to have the
defendant placed on probation because
of his physical condition and on the
grounds that others involved in the
post office deals were not Indicted,
Judge Woodward said: “Respect for
public office is lessened if they may be
bought and sold. The offense of which
this defendant nas been found guilty
is grave. I do not deem it necessary
to impose the extreme penalty but the
sentence must be of such a nature as
to deter other congressmen from such
practices.”
The ex-congressman, testifying as a
witness, told of receiving money from
job seekers, but insisted it came to
him with expressions of sympathy
over his unsuccessful campaign for
re-election last November.

aviatrix, set a new speed record
for women over a three-kilometer
course at Detroit (slightly less than
two miles) with a speed of 210.685
miles an hour. Amelia Earhart. Put-
nam held the previous record of 181.-
157 miles an hour.
Miss Nichols flew the Lockhead-
Vega plane in which she set a woman’s
altitude record in March, over an
official course laid out near the flying
field.
Harry H. Knepper of the Nation-
al Aeronautical association, checked
the flight, and R. A. Leavell, another
aeronautical official, timed the race.
Miss Nichols made two round trips
over the course and the speed was the
average of the four timings. In the
trips against the wind she was timed
at 191.036 and 202.814 miles an hour,
and with the wind the times were
221.825 and 226.880.
The only comment the aviatrix made
was that “there wasn’t anything par-
ticularly exciting about the flight.”
PROHIBITION DIRECTOR WOOD-
ED Cock announced a new high peak
In federal prohibition enforcement for
the month of March, with more ar-
rests and more automobiles seized
than in any similar period since July.
He declared it was “the best month
the bureau has had since I took office
nearly a year ago. Notwithstanding
the increased activity the courts more
than kept up with us. There were 23,-
583 cases on the docket at the end of
February and only 21,548 on April 1.
“Further,” he claimed, “we have es-
tablished a definite trend in these fig-
ures showing that the average of fines
is s'teadily decreasing while the aver-
age of jail sentences has been steadily
increasing in the nine months since
prohibition enforcement was trans-
ferred from the Treasury to the Jus-
tice department.”
A DANGEROUSLY
complicated situ-
ation has arisen in the
political situation de-
veloping In Europe,
especially in connec-
tion with the Austro-
Genmtn tariff union
and the forthcoming
visit, of the German
chancellor and foreign
minister to London
for conferences with
British government
leaders.
Behind the official silence in various
capitals many French observers saw
important issues centering in the tariff
agreement and in the Franco-Italian
naval accord, which it was said France
is attempting to drop because the gov-
ernment was never fully convinced
that it was profitable.
France desires to remain on
friendly terms with Britain, because
Foreign Minister Aristide Briand has
asked the British foreign secretary,
Arthur Henderson, to use pressure on
Germany to modify the tariff accord
when the German chancellor goes to
England next month.
Briand has been placed in an ex
ceedingiy embarrassing position be
cause of the possibility that he will b<
elected President of the republic ir
May, while he would prefer to con
elude the naval accord with Italy by
continuing his work at the Quai d’Oi
say.

MINER EN ROUTE
TO CLAIM BRIDE
DIES IN STORM
Fortune Within His Grasp
After Years of Toil in
Western Canada.
Winnipeg.—The tragic story of a
Danish miner, who, with fortune with-
in his grasp after years of toil in the
Canadian west, met death at the out-
set of his journey to claim a bride, is
unfolded in the prosaic pages of Con-
stable D. T. Cook’s report to head-
quarters of the Manitoba provincial
police here.
The miner was Ongrad Gurley, a
worker in the Central Manitoba mines,
who for years has hoarded his earn-
ings, until they represented a sum on
which he could live, frugally, in his
native land.
Trudges in Cold.
Relinquishing his post, he set out
on a 40-mile trek for Great Falls,
where he was to take a train for the
East, en route to Denmark. His high
boots filled with water and slush, how-
ever, as he trudged through the treach-
erous muskeg, and, after “mushing”
Found the Miner in a Dying Condition.
28 miles, as he trudged through, his
arms frozen to the elbows, and his
legs to the knees, through exposure
to the icy weather.
Three hours later Michael Gilleran,
patrolman for the Manitoba Power
company, while making his rounds of
inspection, found the miner in a dy-
ing condition. Gilleran administered
what aid he could, but Gurley was be-
yond human hedp. With feeble ges-
tures he indicated a photograph of
his bride-to-be, which he carried in
an inside pocket, and Gilleran extract-
ed it and held it before the Dane’s
eyes until he died.
The patrolman built a small shack
over the body to protect it from wolves
and then, from the nearest telephone
post, notified the provincial police.
Rescue Trip an Epic.
The story of Constable Cook’s jour-
ney to retrieve the body is in itself
an epic of hardship and endurance.
Cook traveled on snowslioes, accom-
panied by six men, pulling a tobog-
gan, over a trail- impeded by stumps,
new fallen snow and, in many places,
by unfrozen muskeg.
Seven miies from their starting
point they found three men huddled
in a shack, one with both legs frozen
to the knees, his companions having
carried him a mile and a half to shel-
ter.
The toboggan party carried the dis-
abled man back to Great Falls and
then took up Cook’s trail, finally find-
ing Gurley’s body and retrieving it.
Their journey, only 72 miles in all,
consumed a total of six days.
City Jail Sold for $2
When Found Too Small
Ionia, Mich.—For $2 -the city has
sold its jail.
The two-cell lockup, out of use for
20 years, was dismantled and the iron
bars sold for junk. The rest of it was
converted into kindling.
City prisoners have been housed in
the county jail since the lockup be-
came too small to meet demands.
Youths Sentenced to Go
to Church for 6 Months
Rensselaer, N. Y.—Regular church
attendance for six months was the
sentence meted out to three youths ar-
rested with three girl companions In
what they said was their clubhouse
In addition, City Ccurt Judge Walter
II. Keenholts gave them suspended jail
sentences of six months each.
Farmer Wakes Up; Finds
He Broke Leg in Bed
Birmingham, Ala.—The leg of Ar-
thur Richardson, Adger (Ala.) farmer,
wtfs broken whiie he was asleep In
bed, but he doesn’t know how it hap-
pened. He awoke, attempted to turn
over, and discovered there was a clean
fracture of the leg above the knee.
Bird Crashes Windshield
Red Cloud, Neb.—A crash of glass—
and James Hagman looked into the
dazed face of a hawk that had crushed
through the windshield of his automo-
bile. It flew away.
POISON
in Your bowels!
Poisons absorbed into the system
from souring waste in the bowels,
cause that dull, headachy, sluggish,
bilious condition; coat the tongue;:
foul the breath; sap energy, strength
and nerve-force. A little of Dr.
Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin will clear
up trouble like that, gently, harm-
lessly, in a hurry. The difference it
will make in your feelings over night
will prove its merit to you.
Dr. Caldwell studied constipation
for over forty-seven years. This long
experience enabled him to make his
prescription just what men, women,
old people and children need to make
their bowels help themselves. Its
natural, mild, thorough action and
its pleasant taste commend it to
everyone. That’s why “Dr. Caldwell’s
